yes, am definetely planning to come...just too many super folks that i need to meet and looking forward to spending some time together. Will probably fly down friday afternoon and head home mid day monday. Kari, lil' Dude, will be good to finally put a face with the name......to say nothing of what it will be to sit at the feet of the master and continue to learn. Since my last visit with mr sakai he has really brought his new black and beni to new heights and will be interested in hearing anything he has to offer. We tried growing his tosai out of their color this past summer and the red never changed, just as red as when we first got them.heat or cooler temps never phased the blacks, just as inky as when first arrived. I'm looking forward to seeing some top class koi you know that toshio and russ will have on hand for examples.
Nice to have something to look forward to besides snow storms and cold weather!!!!
